GEOGRAPHY.
The vigorous. and rapidly growing young state of North Dakota is located on the northern boundary of the Federal Union, about midway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and half way between the Gulf of Mexico and Hudson's bay. It is the heart of the continent. Its northern boundary is the forty-ninth degree of north latitude, which separates it from the Do- minion of Canada. On the east it is bounded by the state of Minnesota, from which it is divided by the famous Red river of the North. It is bounded on the west by the meridian of one hun- dred and four degrees, five minutes west longitude front Greenwich, or twenty-four degrees west from Washington. The south boundary is the seventh standard parallel, which separates it from its sister state of South Dakota. From north to south it measures about two hundred and ten miles, and from east to west about three hundred and sixty, and has a total area of 74,312 square miles, or 47.569,680 acres. At present it contains some fifty-two counties, some of which are as yet unorganized.
The state has several marked geographical divisions, the principal of which are the Red river valley, the James or Dakota river valley, the Devil's Lake and Turtle Mountain regions, the
Souris or Mouse river country, the Missouri slope and the west Missouri or northwest Dakota coun- try. The Red River valley derives its name from the Red river of the North, a stream so called to distinguish it from another of the same name in the southern states. This valley, unlike many others in the country, is not a narrow swale or depression on the banks of the stream, but a broad, level plain from fifty to sixty miles wide, and high enough above the river generally to prevent over- flow and afford the best of drainage, and yet it is bottom or alluvial land. In ancient times the site of the entire valley was an immense lake, as shown elsewhere, the waters of which, receding, left a rich black deposit, highly charged with decom- posed organic matter. The Red river is formed near Wahpeton by the confluence of the Otter Tail and Bois de Sioux rivers. Flowing north in a deep but narrow channel, its course extremely crooked, it crosses the international boundary line and empties into Lake Winnipeg, its waters finally mingling with those of Hudson's bay, through Nel- son river. The river is navigable from Grand Forks to its mouth, and prior to the coming of the railroads bore considerable traffic. Among its principal affluents within the state are the Chey- enne, Wild Rice, Maple, Goose, Turtle, Big Salt, Park, Pembina and others.
The state, besides, is well watered and well

drained by other principal rivers and streams, among which is the mighty Missouri, which rolls its flood of muddy water from the Rocky moun- tains eastwardly, entering North Dakota north of the central point on its western border, near Fort Buford. A score of miles from here it receives the waters of the Yellowstone, one of its principal tributaries, and, with greatly augmented waters, crosss the state diagonally, receiving, on its way, such affluents as the Little Knife, Little Missouri, Big Knife, Heart, Little Heart and Cannon Ball rivers, and many creeks, both large and small. It passes out of the state about the center of the south line, at the southwest corner of Emmons county. It is navigable for its entire length through the state.
The James river, familiarly called the "Jim" river by the inhabitants, is an important stream. It is the Riviere Jacques, of the French, the Te-han- san-san, of the Sioux, and also bears the name of the Dakota river. It has its source in Wells coun- ty, North Dakota, and though but a narrow stream winds on through both Dakotas for several hundred miles, emptying into the Missouri near Yankton. The Souris or Mouse river rises in and flows through a considerable part of the Dominion of Canada, and crosses into North Dakota about longitude 102 west from Greenwich. It flows in a wide sweep, ox-bowed in shape, through the north- ern part of the state, passing from thence back into Canada, about seventy miles east from where it enters, finally emptying into the Assiniboine river. The principal branch that empties its waters into the Mouse in North Dakota is the River des Lacs. These main rivers, with numer- ous creeks and branches, form the water system of the state.
